Sunspot 1087 has been crackling with low-level solar flares, so when Jo Dahlmans of
the Netherlands looked at the active region yesterday, he wasn't surprised to catch a flare in mid-eruption:

DUCK-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Sunspot 1087 has been crackling with low-level solar flares, so when Jo Dahlmans of the Netherlands looked at the active region yesterday, he wasn't surprised to catch a C-class flare in mid-eruption

SOLAR FLARE: Sunspot 1087 erupted on July 17th (1800 UT) producing a long-duration C2-class solar flare. Click on the arrow to view a 2.5 hour movie from the Solar Dynamics Observatory:
The leisurely but powerful eruption hurled a faint coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. Minor geomagnetic storms are possible on or about July 20th when the cloud reaches Earth. Arctic sky watchers won't likely see auroras because of the midnight sun; Antarctic sky watchers, on the other hand, should be alert for Southern Lights

I think "concern" is a bit strong. An M-class flare is not much to worry about and is given a 5% probability.
